It was my first time at this shop and Nino did major work on my car (a new engine) and he went above and beyond. I wanted to save my beloved car and it's the best experience I've ever had in the 10 years I've owned a vehicle in Chicago. I feel so lucky and grateful. He was straightforward, intentional, clear and the price was unparalleled. Often times, I've been at other mechanics where I'm authorizing for the work and I am nervous or feel pressured and confused and I felt the opposite here; very well taken care of and informed. Nino and his team are very knowledgeable, fair, trustworthy and kind. I'm so glad Avondale Collision was recommended to me and I highly recommend. read more

Be careful. They switched out my Cadillitic Converter without informing me. Replaced it with an aftermarket. I couldn't pass an emissions test prior. That was their solution? Couldn't pass after. Car was never the same. Figured it out when I sold my car to the junk yard. read more

Had some plastic that needed to be repaired on the underside of my vehicle. They seemed busy but still had me in and out of there within 20 minutes. Was treated like royalty, great business. read more

10+ year customer, can't say enough good things, Nino & Avondale Collision always exceeded expectations

Came here for an estimate after my car got hit and they treated me really well. Super friendly, straight-up about the price, and actually took the time to explain what was going on. Felt like they cared, not just trying to sell me stuff. read more

I have taken all my cars here and I love the work that is performed. Very thorough and if a mistake has been made it's acknowledged and corrected. I trust nino completely. read more

My last visit was 4 years ago. Auto and body shops aren't the type of places that you want to be a regular at. Likely means that you're doing something wrong if you find yourself there a lot, so I try to stay away. But every now and then you back up into your garage and even though your car's rear camera is screaming at you telling you to not back up farther, but you decide to ignore and cut a little too short and end up scraping the side of your car anyways. I get it. It happens to the best of us. I live in the loop and am the type of annoying person who hates leaving the area. If I can get things done locally, I will. But I also remembered how good these guys were 4 yrs ago and how they made my car look brand new in speedy record time. Going back to Avondale Collision Auto Shop was a no brainer. This visit was no different than last. Incredibly reasonably priced. Quotes were clear and transparent. Very professional and nice to talk to. Every time I called, someone would answer quickly with helpful updates. And my car was ready for pick-up exactly when they told me it would be. Even though they seemed busy, they still had my car ready on time! It doesn't get any better. I highly recommend this place! read more

I trust this shop with my wallet, my car, and my life. You should too. I got quotes from many places on the NW side, and Avondale was the cheapest and most transparent in their pricing. Also, the experience I had with them overall was phenomenal. At every point in the process, from my initial walkthrough and estimate, to drop off and pickup, I was continually impressed by how kind and communicative the staff were. Nino was always so clear, kind, and ready to spend all of his time with me to help make sure the process was smooth and painless. He called me even when he didn't have any new updates, so I wasn't left wondering -- I really appreciated that. When my car was ready for pickup, it was the day of my brothers wedding, and they made sure to not let the insurance and car rental company know that; they also convinced my insurance that the scratches on the rest of the bumper (from everyday parking) should be covered. I don't know how much Nino is getting paid, but, whatever it is, it's not enough! He made this normally dreadful and expensive experience so amazing. I cannot recommend this shop enough. read more

Avondale Collision - Body Shops Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Can't say enough good things about nino and tony. On top of getting my car repaired, Nino went above and beyond helping me get situated with my insurance. Definitely recommend read more

My experience with Avondale Collision was by far the best of any auto repairs I've had to go through in the past. My car needed a new front bumper, grill, and driver side mirror. The shop's super friendly owner, Nino, gave me an amazing deal. I got estimates for the repair from several other shops and his was nearly 30% lower than all the others (!!). I can tell from just being in the office that the staff is incredibly professional and knows what they're doing. Nino kept me updated every step of the way, letting me know when the parts were ordered, when they arrived, and when I could come in to get the parts replaced. When I was ready to go in, the repairs only took about an hour before I was on my way. My 2007 Accord looks brand new again and all the parts feel securely in place. This is the only auto body shop I've ever felt excited to recommended to someone, haha. Go! read more

Avondale Collision - Looking great with her new parts! - Body Shops Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Best repair shop in Chicago. Taken 3 cars there now and it couldn't be more of an easy process. Customer service is the best, will never take my cars anywhere else as long as I'm living in Chicago. read more

I love this place. Met Nino standing in line a few years back and brought my car in. They did a great job, including having my car completed cleaned. He dealt with my insurance company, which made things so easy. Recently took my other car there. Again, they were so nice, Rick, Jesus and Nino are all nice, honest and attentive. Again they dealt with my insurance company even though they are not a "preferred" State Farm garage. They should be. Personally, I wouldn't go anywhere else for body work on my cars. read more

Avondale Collision was incredible! The service, customer experience and delivery were exceptional. Nino helped with fixing my Jaguar FPace. The quote for getting a brand new mirror from Jaguar was $1800, but Nino recommend I get the part from Ebay and he would install it. He fixed it in less than an hour and only charged $116 for the service. He is my go-to person for any body repair work. Trustworthy and quality service! read more

one of most underrated auto repair shop, grear customer service, reasonable price as well my fender and bumper had major damage, it came out perfect, just like nothing happen, body work and paint job was really good close to factory finished ask for Nino read more

I took my 2009 Honda Pilot here for a headlight that was out and they fixed the loose plug for free. My key fab hasn't worked for years and he gave me a part that he had on hand for free so the fab stays in one piece. They couldn't fix my catalytic converter so they referred me to Velasquez Complete Auto Care down to street and they also did a great job. My 2009 drives great after her visit to Avondale Collision. And, I'll be back; I'm bringing my other car to you for repair next week! read more

Honest, friendly and Not a long wait I have been years without hear properly working in my car and no mechanic has been able to Fix it...finally thanks to AVondale collision it's fixed n I'm warm def will recommend. Thank you Nino and Rick!!! read more

To say this place is fantastic is a serious understatement! My car had been hit while parked outside my house, the whole left side needed replacing, I couldn't even open the doors. I had just bought it 3 months ago with 400 miles on it, I was devastated. I saw the awesome reviews for Avondale Collision and went the next day. Jose completely took care of everything and made all the paperwork SO easy! My car was done almost a week sooner than originally estimated and looks even BETTER than when I drove it off the lot! Jose even came in on his day off to hand my car back to me, that's how important good work and customer service is to them. They say their goal is to have you fall in love with your car all over again, and wow, that is so true! I cannot stress enough how much of a good decision it is to go here. They are professional, extremely kind, efficient, have fantastic communication and do completely stunning work. I will tell anyone I know to go here, if I could give 10 stars I would! read more

This was my first time going somewhere by myself and I did not want my parents seeing or knowing what I did to my car. I have a Saturn aura and my side door was messed up it didn't fully open this wonderful guy (I forgot his name I'm sorry!) said he could help and he did I asked for the price and he said he had it. Everyone is really friendly there I recommend! read more

I don't often write reviews... But I had to make sure I did for this. Nino and his team were super helpful, kind, and patient. This is also the first time I've walked away from a mechanic / car repair place feeling as though I wasn't over-charged. Thank you! read more

Just picked up my Range Rover and I love the work they did. This place is great. I dropped off my car and they updated through out the entire process. I was going out of town for 5 days and they came through and went above and beyond to get it done by the time I came back. No bumps on this road. The body and paint job makes my truck look brand new! Do not hesitate to bring your vehicle here! The customer service is amazing and was even contacted by the body guy before they started painting just to make sure! I would recommend Avondale to anyone! Keep up the great work! read more

Highly recommend Avondale, Nino is who I dealt with they helped me from start to finish with my accident claim. I got into an accident with my Audi the rear was completely smashed. When I went to pick up my car it looked like it just came off the dealer showroom floor. Call Nino and he will treat you like family. read more

Called for a service they did not do, but NINO wow! What a polite and excellent customer service riddle gentleman! Gave me a number to call that handle the work i needed, went as far as looking up the car to make sure he didn't point me in the wrong direction! Will be using these folks again! read more

I went to Nissan to get a SIMPLE thing handled and they tried charging me $160. As I was leaving Nissan I called around to a few body shops & found Avondale, the owner answered and told me he could Fix my car that day. It was the smoothest process ever and he was incredibly nice. 10/10 for customer service. I would definitely recommend. :) read more

Have had some work done on a few of my vehicles and I've been extremely happy with their work and the staff was an added bonus! I've had the privilege of working with Rick and Jay. Exceptionally pleasant men! Definitely recommend you give them a try! read more

Honest & Great Service. I woke up to see my car's driver side completely side-swiped. The car was hit so hard that my rear tire was ripped off the wheel. Talk about a rude awakening! First thing I did was call Sarge at Avondale Collision. He immediately set up a tow and in an hour my car was at the shop. From then on, Sarge and Nino took a load off my shoulders. They helped me throughout the process. From filing the claim with State Farm to explaining what needs to be repaired to meeting and handling the adjuster. In a matter of a week, the insurance company ok'd the work and my car was finished and looking like nothing even happened to it. The entire staff was kind and professional. They even handled the return of my rental car back to Enterprise. Great Job! read more

Jose and his team were a pleasure to work with when I needed to fix a scrape on the side of my car. Not only were they half the price of all the other places I received a quote from, but they also were flexible with when I could bring it in. When I picked up my car, they had fixed the scrape perfectly and it looked brand new. also, they had washed the outside and inside of my car with no charge!! I live in downtown Chicago (River North) and would definitely make the trip back to Avondale for any future fixes. Definitely will recommend my friends and colleagues to Avondale Collision read more

Last month my car was hit while parked outside my building. The damage was quite substantial requiring a tow as well (the rear driver's side wheel was bent out). Sarge showed up on-site, we had a quick chat and after looking up the shop I decided to go with them. He called for the tow truck and took my vehicle to the shop. He even offered to drive me over so we can begin the paperwork! Upon arriving to the shop I met Nino who helped me file the claim with Allstate (other parties insurance). After waiting on Allstate for the inspection and whatnot they got to work on my car right away. When it was time to pick up my car Nino called and told me he would stay a little later so that I could pick it up (I was at work at the time). He offered to drive me over to the detail shop where my car was but I had a friend who took me there. The car looked BEAUTIFUL! Couldn't even tell it had been hit. Plus, a full detail was a nice added bonus! The customer service at this shop is incredible. I have never had this kind of service at a shop before. Needless to say, I'll be taking my car here from now on! Thank you to Sarge and Nino again for going above and beyond!!! read more

Very honest and great work!!! Was able to get my bodywork and other work done efficiently. The team at Avondale was always communicating and keeping me in the loop! Coming here next time for any work I need done read more

I noticed a bad leak coming from my wife's car and began the process of getting quotes. I realized after my second quote this was not gonna be cheap and was losing hope finding a honest fair mechanic shop. I was referred to Avondale Collision and was told to ask for Nino. I could not be happier with my quote as well as how fast it was done. If service and quality of attention is what your looking for this is the place to go. I will 100% continue going to Avondale Collision and support these guys because I for the first time walked out of a mechanic shop not feeling ripped off! Ask for Nino the man will take care of you and show you true customer service. read more

The service and the quality of work were outstanding. Good communication throughout the repair process. Repairs were completed on time and best of all, I did not feel like I was being nickel-and-dimed. Will be back if I ever need additional body work. every one there was very professional, ask for Nino he is the best. read more

I'm not from the area and had no idea where to take my car for body work after my parked car was hit. I found Avondale Collision right here on yelp and it served me very well. They did a wonderful job and my car looks better now than before it was hit. Their customer service is second to none and they made me feel like I was a priority! I will definitely be back if I need more repairs. read more

Avondale Collision took great care of my vehicle. I called in regards to what had happened to my car, when answering the phone very courteous Nino was able to explain and assured me that it will be fixed the next day. I came in to the location, greeted right away. Which is very important for me. The lot was packed, I felt happy that they had a lot of clients. Very clean in the waiting areas as well as a great coffee bar! Just sitting there waiting on my car, two other clients spoke to me and told me how they had all of their vehicles fixed there. Car accident or not just for a quick pleasure fix. They made sure I was comfortable with the price and time. Nino is the guy to see! Also do 24Hr. Towing. My broken window was fixed and ready to go by 12pm the next day. Workers in the location were friendly and on top of things, even the rental car people picking up clients to the rentals. I will be going back and referring all of my friends and family. Thank you again guys. read more

So Happy, I got my beautiful Buick back and it looks as if nothing had ever happened to her! I'm absolutely impressed with the service I received, these guys where not only quick and efficient but they returned my car to me looking as good as new. Thank you for going above and beyond and making such a horrible incident go smoothly on your end. read more

The guys at Avondale are so honest, nice and trustworthy that they blew me away! I was driving down to Chicago from Milwaukee and had an unexpected car incident. I called them and they went out of their way with their service and more than competitive pricing. Honor is a word that you can rarely use anymore, and this is an honorable operation! I would not hesitate to work with them. read more

Excellent customer service, good price and great results. Always picked up the phone and was fast to address any issues.
